| Summary: | The major drawback to the wider use of hydrogen as an energy source is the inherent difficulty regarding storage and distribution of this gas. A solution of this problems is the on-board hydrogen generation from suitable high energy density liquid fuel. Currently, research has mostly focused on fuel cell technology, but if we are focusing on the supporting fuel cell technology then we can prepare by the supporting infrastructure and we do not need import it. On this research we study by experiments to see the catalytic performance of Cu/ZnO/Al2O3 used Steam Reforming Methanol on Ultrasonic Nebulizer. We found at decomposition temperature of catalyst above 573K the production of hydrogen is working by increasing about 25 % mixed steam of the methanol water has been changed into hydrogen. Our results show that the catalytic performance of Cu/ZnO/Al2O3 is promising for application in terms of H2 production for fuel cell technology by steam reforming of methanol. |
